Reflections of Tranquility

Calm waters reflect,
Peace wrapped in a soft embrace,
Stillness in the soul.

The Magic of Reading

Lost in a good book, with pages flying by,
Transported to new worlds, where time can’t pry,
Characters and plots, they capture my mind,
Before I realize, it’s way past bedtime!

With every turn, new adventures await,
Whispers of wisdom from the ink on the plate.
Imagination sparked, like stars in the night,
In stories I find, my spirit takes flight.

Art of Drawing

Daily writing prompt
Describe one habit that brings you joy.

I really enjoy drawing; it makes me happy and feels good. There’s something special about using a pencil on paper to show my ideas. Whether I’m drawing nature or making abstract art, it helps me express myself in a beautiful way. Drawing gives me a sense of peace, and I often lose track of time while creating something new. I also like to share my art with my readers whenever possible.

No Dealer of Emotions

You are not my dealer, my heart’s little guide,
Step back and be free, let your own self decide.
Control your own feelings, let them flow and roam,
Find your own way, create your own home.

Don’t sell me your sorrow, or joy wrapped in fear,
I need my own colors, my heart’s voice to hear.
So walk on your path, let your spirit take flight,
I’ll walk on my journey, and I’ll find my own light.

Poetry

Morning’s Embrace

Soft petals unfurl
Bathed in the morning sunlight
A garden awakes

Whispers of dew drop
Dance on leaves, a gentle song
Nature’s breath begins

Can You Tell A Story In…

  • EAVESDROP
  • SPACE
  • BURGER

In the quiet burger joint, I could not resist eavesdropping on the next table, their secrets spilling like ketchup, creating a connection despite the vast space between us.

Poetry

Emerging from Shadows

I am finished living this way,
In shadows where I sway.
Change feels heavy, like a stone,
I stand still, lost and alone.

I don’t know what to do,
Or how to find a path that’s new.
Fear wraps tight, like a chain,
Paralyzed by hope and pain.

But somewhere deep inside,
A whisper calls, a wish, a guide.
Though change is hard, I’ll find the light,
And step forward, into the fight.

Microscope Tales: Laughing Along With a Limerick

In a lab where the science excels,
They studied the life in the cells.
With microscopes near,
They’d gather each year,
Finding secrets that nature compels.

Tickle Me Pickle’s Fate

Tickle me Pickle, that silly fellow,
Turns into a prune whenever it’s mellow.
It wriggles and giggles, oh what a hoot,
Until it becomes a prune, then it can’t scoot!

But when the sun shines and the laughter is bright,
It dances and twirls, a joyful sight.
With friends all around, it’s never alone,
In the pickle patch party, it’s right at home!
